GREENWOOD AS IT IS. 

Be thou ready for the day or the hour the 
Lord calleth thee, thou knoweth not. 

Vital spark of heavenly flame; , 

Quit, O, quit this mortal frame, 
Trembling, hoping, lingering, flying, 
O, the pain, the bliss of dying; 
Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife, 
And let me languish into life. 

Hark, they whisper; angels say 
Sister spirit come away. 
What is this, absorbs me quite, 
Seals my senses, shuts my sight. 
Drowns my spirits, draws my breath, 
Tell me, my soul, can this be death? 

I 

The world recedes. It disappears, 
Heaven opens on my ears, my ears 
With sounds searaphic ring; I 

Lend, lend your wings; I mount, I fly; 
O grave where is thy victory, 
O death, where is thy sting? 

— Pope's Ode.

Greenwood, the city of the dead. This beau- 
tiful cemetery is noted the world over. Visitors 
to this great city make this hallowed spot one 
of the main points of their itinerary. It is beau- 
tifully situated and from many points magni- 
ficent views of the surrounding country can 
be obtained. 

In 1837, Henry E. Pierrepont, while visiting 
the city of Boston, paid a visit to Mount Au- 
burn, which was the first rural cemetery in 
this country. Its beauty became apparent to 
Mr. Pierrepont, and knowing that the city of 
New York was in need of similar grounds, im- 
mediately, upon his return to his home in 
Brooklyn, presented his views to Major Doug- 
lass, who, seeing the advantage of it, joined 
hands with Mr. Pierrepont in laying out what 
is now the famous Greenwood Cemetery. 

Together they visited different points about 
New York, but none suited them so well as a 
last resting spot for the dead as the wooded 
hills of Greenwood, then called Gowanus 
Woods. After deciding upon the grounds they 
immediately started to organize a company, 
which they succeeded in doing on the 15th day

of December, 1838, with Judge Mammond, 
chairman, and II. E. Pierrepont, secretary, 
The l)ooks for subscription had been opened 
previously on the od day of November, 1838. 
The act of incorporation was passed in April, 
1838, which created a joint stock corporation 
under the name of Greenwood Cemetery, with 
a capital of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars. 
The originators of the project were Henry E. 
Pierrepont, Major Douglass, Russell Stebbins, 
Joseph Alfred Perry and Henry Freeman. On 
the city maps it was marked from Twenty-first 
to Thirty-fourth streets, and from Fifth avenue 
to Brooklyn City line. For several years it 
had quite a struggle for an existence, and in 
the year of 1840 it looked as though it would 
never l)e able to exist. The public in general 
did not look upon the project with any favor, 
and threw every obstacle in its way. However, 
after a hard and bitter struggle and with the 
determination of the gentlemen connected with 
it. it rose out of the depth of despond to one 
of greatness and grandeur. The place was de- 
signed and laid out on plans similar to that of 
Mount Auburn of Boston. The starting of this 
cemetery marked the second rural burying

ground in the country. Philadelphia soon fol- 
lowed with Laurel Hih. 

The average price paid per acre was $75G.G0, 
making the price per lot $62.75. The ground 
was originally the farms of the Bennetts, Ber- 
gens and Wycoffs, and had stood in the names 
of these families from the first settlement of 
the country by the Dutch, and from time imme- 
morial the land had been pastures and farm 
land. The houses of the owners principally 
stood on or near the shore and at the time of 
the Company buying the land, it had become 

cut up in sections and acquired by the owners 
at that time either through inheritance or mar- 
riage of the said three families. The names of 
the owners of the ground bought by the com- 
pany were Winant, Bennett, Dean, Schermer- 
horn, Bergen, Leffert, Garrett, Martense, Cook, 
Clarkson, Van Brunt, Jones, Pope, and Dela- 
phine. The largest parcel of land was bought 
from the Schermerhorn family, and contained 
85 acres, the price paid being $650 per acre. 
The next largest was the Sackett farm of 32 
ncics. the sum of $725 per acre being paid. 
The Ibbodson farm of 32 acres was next pur- 
chased at $975 per acre. The Dean farm of 23

acres was bought at $900 per acre, and four 
acres of the WycofC farm at $600 per acre, and 
from that time the company purchased the ad- 
joining property until it had acquired 474 
acres, which is the size of the Cemetery at the 
present time. 

The seal of the corporation was adopted in 

1838, the device being "Memory" scattering 
flowers over the graves of the dead. 

Few persons visiting these grounds are 
aware that one portion of them — Battle Hill — ■ 
has quite a historical story attached to it. Dur- 
ing the battle of Long Island, August 26, 1776, 
the conflict raged on and near these grounds 
and on Battle Hill Lord Sterling divided his 
forces in this great battle. For many years 
an old stone fortress stood here. 

Greenwood owes much of its present beauty 
to the great care and judicious system of 
grading which was early adopted by the 
and laid out the same in 1839. An act of 
Legislature was passed forbiding the cutting 
of the streets through the grounds, which was 
very fortunate for the Cemetery, It may be 
very interesting for the readers of this guide 
to know that the first inclosure that Green-

wood ever boasted of was a common rail fence, 
the posts being cut from the trees on the 
grounds and the rails being purchased in New 
York State. The present inclosure was started 
in 1861 and was finished in 1863, the cost being 
$20,725. The officers of the company at that 
time were Major Douglass, president; Mr. Le 
Roy, comptroller; H. E. Jt^ierrepont, secretary; 
LeRoy, Perry, xierrepont, Stebbins and Free- 
man, Executive Committee. These were ihe 
first executive officers of the company. 

From 1838 and up until 1843 there were 528 
lots sold. To-day there are over 33,000 lots. 
The first lot sold for $80. The Cemetery was 
opened for sale of lots in August, 1842, 
and at the ciosing of the year a public conse- 
cration of the ground was held. 

At this time Greenwood boasted of twenty 
tombs and one hundred and sixty-two inter- 
ments. Some of tnese being removals from 
churchyards in tne city. To-day it boasts of 

mausoleums, tombs and inclosures, the cost of 

jWhich amounts to about one fifth the wealth

vaults and mausoleums in the Cemetery- The 
lakes are considered one of the chief beauties 
of the grounds. 

On the northern borders of the Arbor Waters, 
where now stands the monument of J. B. 
Graham, there was erected in 1839, the first 
obelisk, of Staten Island sienthe. It was re- 
moved later and now stands in the lot of 
Steven B. Munn, on Lawn Girt Hill, facing 
Alder Avenue, and is quite worthy of a visit. 

The first interment in the Cemetery took 
place September 5th, 1840. It was tiiat of John 
Hanna. He was buried at the base of Ocean 
Hill, on the western Sxde, in lot No. 233. 

At that time the grounds had not been duly 
opened for interments and the burial was miide 
on the responsibility and by act of Mr. S. N. 
Burrill, an undertaker of New York City. It 
might be noted here that he was the only un- 
dertaker at that time who sanctioned the 
grounds for burial purposes. 

The following summer Mr. Burrill construct- 
ed at the base of the hill on Landscape Avenue, 
i.l the S/lvan Waters, the fust Vc-.ult in the 
grounds. It is built of ordinary cobblestones 
and is one gf the land-marks in the Cemetery.

In the year of 1842 the Cemetery began to 
flourish. To-day it stands without peer 
throughout the entire world. To show the 
magnitude of its growth, there are 500,000 bod- 
ies buried here at the time of the issuance ot 
this book. 

There are seven entrances to the grounds, 
the main one being at Twenty-fifth street and 
Fifth avenue. It is very attractive, being built 
of New Jersey brown stone, this being the most 
valuable of all building stones. The style is 
English Gothic. The middle tower Is 106 feet 
high and the two side towers 90 feet in height 
each. There are two gateways and above 
these is a shield on the central part of each 
gable representing some biblical figures, and the 
spaces below are filled with appropriate Scrip- 
ture scenes. Over the gateway are the beau- 
tifully executed works of art, life size, wrought 
in olive tinted sandstone, the subjects being, 
"The Interment of the Saviour," "His Resur- 
rection," "The Raising of Lazarus," and "The 
Restoration of the Widow's Son." This gate- 
way was started in 1861 and was completed in 
1863, at a cost of $70,221. On the right side 
will be found the office of the superintendent

and on the left a reception room for visitors. 
A little to the north of this stands the porter's 
lodge, commodious stables for horses and 
wagons used in the grounds. Here also, is the 
superintendent's house. The second entrance 
is at Thirty-fourth street and Fourth avenue. 
At this entrance are found the store sheds, 
work shops, carriage houses and stables. This 
entrance brings you on Sylvan Avenue, and 
near the single graves on the southern side. 
The southern entrance is at Thirty-seventh 
street and Seventh avenue, and enters on Sum- 
mit Avenue, near the Firemen's lot. The east- 
ern entrance is on Fort Hamilton avenue, and 
enters the Cemetery on Border Avenue. Around 
this entrance will be found some of the hand- 
somest tombs, monuments and statuary in the 
world, as this is the finest part of the Cemetery. 
The Ninth avenue entrance is at Ninth avenue 
and Twentieth street. Near here will be found 
the reservoir, situated on Garland Avenue and. 
Canner Path. The Sixth avenue entrance is 
used exclusively as an exit for funerals. 

At the Fifth avenue entrance coaches may

sum of twenty-five cents, will take you through 
the grounds.

The Receiving Vault is the largest as well as 
the finest in the world. It was built in the 

year 1853, at a cost of $14,933. The vault 
which had been used previous to the erection 
of this one was deemed at this time too small 
for continual use. The vault is beautifully sit- 
uated on Willow Avenue, opposite the Arbor 
Waters. The entrance to this catacomb is 
massive, being of Trenton brown stone, and is 
through a deep open vestibule. The entry is 
80 feet deep by 40 feet wide; this connected by 
similar apartments on each side which are 40 
feet deep and 20 feet wide. A large spacious 
aisle runs through the vaulted apartments on 
either side. These contain the horizontal cells 
in which the bodies are placed and are as near 
airtight as it is possible for them to be, being 
closed up and hermetically sealed when in use. 
To each body placed therein is attached a 
metallic tally corresponding to that of the cell.

Openings are in the arched roof, and the super- 
incumbent earth provides light and atmos- 
pheric circulation for the same. By frequent 
ventilation and constant use of disinfectants 
the air within is kept pure and wholesome. 
The large vestibule affords a shelter to mourn- 
ers in stormy weather for burial services, when 
desired. There are 361 cells in the tomb, 
which, when built was intended to hold 1,500 
bodies, but owing to the change in the form of 
burial boxes, it has reduced the holding capa- 
city to 1,400 bodies. 

The catacomb is on Locust Avenue on Vine 
Dell. It was first intended for the receiving 
vault, but being too small, it was converted 
into single vaults for private burials, having a 
capacity of twency bouies in each vault. There 
are 15 vaults on each side, which are built 
under the earth and reached by a well lighted 
stairway and aisle. The Cemetery will sell a 
single receptacle for $100, or one of the tombs 
for $1,000.

Who, seeking our shore, came but to die 
And here in this hallowed spot to lie. 



Upon entering this beautiful Resting Place 
ot' the dead, we are immediately struck with 
the grandeur around us, yet, with it all, the 
simplicity is so beautifully blended that one 
loses half the feeling of greatness, as we allow 
our eyes to wander o'er the hills and dales and

spot to rest in after earth's toils and sorrows. 

Our first glance upon entering the grounds 
at tue Fifth avenue entrance on Landsdcape 
Avenue, fahs upon the beautiful granite shaft 
erected by the Greenwood Cemetery Company 
in memory of Joseph Alfred Perry. There is a 
bronze meuallion, set in bas-relief in the mon- 
ument, with the following inscription upon it:

recognition of the eminent services of Joseph 
Alfred Perry, who for nearly forty years and 
until his death, was the faithful and efficient 
Comptroller." Mr. Perry was one of the orig- 
inators of the Cemetery, and his death was a 
great loss to the company. 

A short distance from this monument on Bat- 
tle Avenue, stands the massive bronze vault of 
the Stewart family. Opposite this is a beau- 
tiful granite column surmounted with a fig- 
ure of "Rock of Ages," in the Kauful and 
Smith lot. There are only two of the same 
figure in the cemetery. Adjoining is the granite 
monument erected by the City of Brooklyn in 
memory of its dead who lost their lives in the 
great theatre fire. There are 105 bodies lying 
here, (see cut) . A few lots from this memorial on 
Battle A. venue, is the granite column erected in 
memory of Louis Bernard. Mr. Bernard, it 
will be remembered, was the originator of the 
Society Prevention Cruelty to Animals, and as 
he was a great lover of all dumb beasts, he be- 
queathed a large portion of his fortune to this 
Society. Adjoining this lot Is the plot on

which is erected one of the largest granite col-

white marble figure, with the pathetic inscrip-

how it touches the heart of some lonely motner 
to look upon this loving memorial, bringing to 
mind these beautiiul lines: 

I miss them all through the weary hours; 

I miss them as others miss sunshine and 
flowers. 

Daytime or nighUime, wherever I go, 

Dear little hands, I miss them so. 
Upon Battle Hill stands the Soldiers' Monu-

What beautiful thoughts come o'er us as we 
wander through this, the tents of the silent. 
We wonder at its great mysteries and can truly 
say that "Earth knows a little, God knows the 
rest." Death is not our last sleep, hut our 
final awakening, so we can leave them with 
these beautiful thoughts within us. Resting, 
ah, yes, so some day shall we. How many of 
these beautiful, loving tributes raised by sor- 
rowing hands tell their own stories, and as we 
stroll onward we come across many beautiful 
tombs, among them many whose names are 
familiar to us. Among the most notable is the 
elegant granite column of L. P. Butler, who at 
one time was President of the Sixth Avenue 
Railroad in New York. Here is also the Pot-

Bay Grove Hill, on Highland Avenue, is also 
very worthy of mention. 

The plot of James Gordon Bennett, of the 
New York Herald, whicn is situated on Bay 
Grove Hill, on Highland Avenue, is one of the 
most noted and attractive spots in the Ceme- 
tery. The monument, which was erected in 
memory of a favorite child, is of Italian mar- 
ble and represents the figure of a grieved 
mother, giving up her little child to the angels. 
The work on the mother's dress and shawl is, 
without exception, a high piece of art. (See 
cut). 

"O, my baby, we found so fair, dear,

Among- the plethora and costly mausoleums in 
Greenwood, and one much sought after by the 
visitor, is the Stephen Whitney Chapel^ situated on 
Ocean I Fill, facing Atlantic Avenue. It is very 
beautiful, being built in the form of an English 
church, of dark graj' granite, and stands on the 
highest point of a hill, from which a splendid 
view of the cemetery can be had. Its simplicity, 
as well as grandeur, is so blended that one for- 
gets the latter, and it is one of the few places in 
the grounds that one can look upon with a feeling 
of absolute rest. (See cut.) 

Situated on Battle Avenue at the base of 
Battle Hill, stands one of the most elegaD', 
vaults In the grounds, and is the resting place 
of the dead of T. C. Durant's family. Mr. 
Durant was at one time Vice-Prasldent and 
General Manager of the Union Pacific Rail- 
road. The roof of the vault is of yellow glars 
and at certain times of the day, whe-i the sua 
strikes it, the reflections on the Interior are 
simply beyond conception. In the vault aie 
several elegant pieces of statuary, the center 
one representing the image of Jesus, over

ing over $300,000. The roof is cut out of one 
solid piece of granite. (See cut). 

The Gilsey mausoleum is another handsome 
piece of art, being very massive and built of 
choice granite. It is located on Atlantic Ave-

A few feet off Battle Avenue, on Hyarangis 
Path, is a beautiful memento of marble in mem- 
ory of G. G. Griffith Ricture, a sea captain, and 
represents a cottage. At the door stands the 
husband taking farewell of his wife. It is very 
artistic. The work upon this monument is 
well worth mentioning, and a visit. Alas, it 
was truly a farewell, for lie was lost in mid- 
ocean. Can we picture the waitings of this 
loving wife, hoping for tidings of her loved one, 
only at last to hear that he was lost and sleep- 
ing his last sleep in the silent deep? 

At the corner of Fern and Atlantic Avenues 
stands the large and elegant marble monument' 
of C. Palmer. 

On Cherry Hill, and on Cherry Avenue stands 
the magnificent brown stone vault of Jasper 
Crasvena. It is very large ana there are only

clients. 

Near the Arbor Waters on Landscape Ave- 
nue, on a hill, stands the granite shaft erected 
to Dixon Hall Lewis, late Senator from the 
State of Alabama. 

Around this water stands many of the beau- 
tiful vaults for which Greenwood is noted, one 
of uiie most handsome being that of the Cham-

Very few persons visiting Greenwood are 
aware that in these grounds lies the body of 
Amelia Korsouth, wife of Louis Korsouth, the 
Hungarian patriot, who was banished from his 
country on account oi his patriotism. His 
wife, who shared the same feelings, came with 
him. She always expressed the wish that her 
Vicdy shouid lie in this country until her coun- 
try was free, at which time she wanted her re- 
mains removed to her native home. The 
mound is in the cenire of tne plot belonging to 
the Church of Oui- Saviour, and is located on 
Central Avenue. There is a plain, white mar- 
ble shaft erectea cO .ler memory, and upon one 
side is the inscription, "Amelia Korsouth. born 
in Hungaria, November 18th, 1812. Died in 
Brooklyn, June 9th, 18C0." Upon one of the 
other sides is the following: **Ye who returns 
when Hungaria is free, tak^s my dust along, 
my heart is there." Upon another side is the 
following: "Erected by her fellow exiles, who 
admired her in lite, and now mourn." On the 
rear of the shaft is found carved the coat of 
arms of Hungaria. Ti.e grave Is completely

At the corner of Zephya Path and Cypress 
Avenue is a plot with seven graves in it and is 
as yet unmarked, although it is expected that 
the Colonial Dames Wixi soon mark the spot. It 
would have been done before only on account 
of a dispute as lo the right of the marking of 
the same. In it lies the remains of Captain 
Reid, who is claimed to have been the designer 
of the first American flag. His mound is the 
center one in the rear row.

What can be more beautiful than the quota- 
tion of Washington Irving, when he said "There 
is a voice from the tomb, sweeter than song. 
There is a remembrance of the dead, to which 
we turn even from the charms of the living. 
O, the grave, the grave, it buries every error, 
covers every defect, extinguishes every resent- 
ment. From its peaceful bosom springs none 
but fond regrets and tender recollections." 
What beautiful thoughts these are, and how 
true. And as we stroll through this, the tem- 
ple of the silent, how we ponder on the mys- 
teries of death. And yet death is the crown 
of life. We only begin to live after we die. 
Death is but a path that must be trod if man 
would ever pass to God. We are only passing 
through nature to eternity, falling asleep to a 
beautiful rest of silence. 

With silence only as their benediction, 

God's angels come. 
Where in the shadows of a great afflction 
The soul is dumb.

who was thrown from her carriage cm Fifth

February 3d, 1846, while on her way to a ball. 
Her father spent her entire fortune in the erec- 
tion of this monument. It is elegantly carved 
with a figure of iviiss Carda. At the time of 
the erection it was the show lot in the grounds, 
and cost $45,000. Quite a pathetic story is told 
in a small iron inclosuro a few feet from this 
grand and lofty tomb. There lies sleeping one 
whose heart is buried in Charlotte Carda's 
grave. Two years after her death he shot 
himself in her fatlier's home, and owing to the 
grounds being consecrated he could not be bur- 
ied with her. A simple marble slab, with the 
inscription, "Charles Albert Jarret lies here," 
tells the story. Hence the lonely grave. (See

of Battle Avenue and Hemlock Path. A large 
granite column stands in the centre of the plot

Howe, who had lost a pet dog, had it interred 
here and erected a beautiful and costly stone

Silently musing we wander through the path- 
ways, hills and dales, thinking of our loved 
ones gone to their long home. How we fade 
away suddenly like the grass, which in the 
morning is green and gioweth up. but in the 
evening is cut down, dried up and withered. 
Truly this world is biU a hu;;,e inn. and men 
the rambling passengers. Life, with its mys- 
teries and sorrows, death with its .ioys. there 
we find rest, and yet it is not quitting the busy 
rareers. Rest is the fleohng oT sflf to its 
ephere, Cau we not almost see our loved ones

waiting on the other side, and how vividly these 
faweet lines come to us: 

Over the river they beckon to me, 
Loved ones who've crossed to the other side. 
Yes, we too, will also lay down life's weary 
burden, and oh, how giadly would we welcome 
the sleep which will awake in eternal happi- 
ness. 

Of all our loving Father's gifts 
I often wonder which is best, 
And cry: Dear God, the one that lifts 
Our soul from weariness to rest; 
The rest of silence — that is best. 
How wonderful is Death, Death and his 
brother, Sleep. 

Among the many thousand of beautiful 
and costly mementos to the dead in this, one of 
God's holy pastures, we must mention the mag- 
nificent granite mausoleum of Com. Garrison 
which is at the intersection of Vernal and Al- 
pine Avenues. (See cui;. Also the monu-

How true are these lines of Washington Ir-

we walk through this beautiful home of the 
dead: "The sorrow for the dead is the only sor- 
row from which we refuse to be divorced, every 
other wound we seek to heal, every other afflic- 
tion to forget, but niis wounu we consider our 
duty to keep open. This affliction we brood 
over in solitude." Yes, how true it seems as 
though we cannot give up our beloved ones 
and wonder why we are so chastised. Yet 
Heaven is not always angry when it strikes 
but must chastise those that He most loves. 
We only part for a time. It is but a farewell. 
l)ut not forever. To live in hearts we leave be- 
liind is not to die. I), death, all eloquent. You

only prove what dust we doat on when 'tis man 
we love. Death is a victory over which none 
can conquer, and it can be truly said that the 
path of glory leads to the grave. Our dead are 
our one comfort, our support and the only 
grief whicff^ is absolutely our own; and we

I fruitless mourn to him that cannot hear

also . is the James Robinson column. Thus 
we wander through these beautiful acres 
of iGod, where so many loved ones lie sleeping, 
and which within a few years have become so 
f-mous. Here are found the resting places 
of some of the most noted people in the world. 
We could not ask for a sweeter spot to lie in 
than within the gates of beautiful Greenwood; 
and so we will leave them sleeping, sweetly 
sleeping until the awakening at the Resurrec- 
tion morn. 

Thousands of toiling hands 
Where theirs have ceased from their labors. 

Thousands of aching brains 
Where theirs are no longer busy, 

Thousands of weary feet 
Where theirs have completed their journey, 

Thousands of throbbing hearts 
Where theirs are at rest forever.
